Christmas School Holiday Sessions - with Secret Garden Playgroup

We are excited to offer a magical Christmas School Holiday Session this December! This drop-off session is designed to give children a joyful, hands-on, festive experience while providing parents with a few peaceful hours during the busy season.

This session is perfect for children who love creating, exploring, building, and connecting with nature — all within the warm, nurturing Secret Garden environment.

✨ Christmas Crafts

Children will have the opportunity to create festive take-home items including ornaments, nature crafts, and Christmas art projects.
